NSB Pick 'em #12 - Anthony Joshua vs Wladimir Klitschko, April 29

[BrometheusBob.]

BONUS MULTIPLIER: AJ is hovering around 2.5/1 in the sportsbooks, so no bonus multiplier is in effect for either fighter.

You only need to post in this thread to indicate 2X or 3X and/or to pick a draw. EG.

BrometheusBob.,2X

If you are using no multiplier (1X), and not picking a draw, just voting in the poll puts you in. I will assume you want 1X unless you post otherwise.

NOTES:
-CLOSE = 116-112 on all three scorecards or closer
WIDE = Wider than 116-112 on all three scorecards

-PM me before the fight starts with a different pick in order to change your pick.

-2X doubles your points and 3X triples your points. Everyone starts with 3 doubles and 2 triples to use throughout the year. If you forget how many you have left, check the leaderboard in the master thread.

With Wlad's layoff, age and the fighting style that he has been for the last few fights I simply can't pick him over Joshua

I am on the Wlad-wagon big time for this fight. I hope he comes back like a beast possessed. However, I'd be a fool to convince myself that a 41y/o coming off a loss, who looked gun-shy in his last 2 and paralyzed in his last, is going to beat a guy who might turn out to be the best fighter he's faced in years.
My heart is with Wlad, my points are on AJ by decision.

[The Time]

For the good of the sport of boxing we need to see Klitschko lose and retire this upcoming Saturday. As a previous poster stated. Just imagine him as a champion again, jabbing and grabbing, back on the old jab and grab campaign. Please god no, please lord. We need Knockouts and excitement. Not Knockouts from leaning on and grabbing and holding your opponent for 10 rounds. Klitschko is a good old guy but we need him gone for good.

Dam, early voting favoring Joshua. I imagine the poll will finish tighter.
